Miller time for Celtic

Monday 30 January 2006 00:10 BST

A dramatic 75th-minute winner by Celtic substitute Kenny Miller against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park sent the Parkhead men 10 points clear at the top of the Bank of Scotland Premier League after a 2-1 victory.

Four minutes after the interval Killie substitute Colin Nish, on just before the break for David Fernandez, slotted the Ayrshire side into the lead. However, just seven minutes later the champions were back level after a trademark Shunsuke Nakamura free-kick from 25 yards out.

Miller replaced Maciej Zurawski in the 70th minute and, when Shaun Maloney played the ball across the Killie six-yard box five minutes later, the Scotland international gleefully slid the ball into the net to give the visitors three valuable points.
